WEBVTT 00:00.450 --> 00:02.770 Welcome to this tutorial. 00:02.910 --> 00:09.700 Today we're going to have a look at an overview of conjunctions. 00:09.710 --> 00:11.070 Let's get started. 00:14.120 --> 00:23.220 Conjunctions are words that link other words phrases clauses or sentences together. 00:23.260 --> 00:31.830 Have a look at the example over here Susan is an amazing wife and a wonderful mom. 00:32.020 --> 00:40.270 Note that in conjunction and in the sentence is used to link amazing wife and wonderful mom 00:43.840 --> 00:48.730 now conjunctions add complexity to our speech. 00:48.760 --> 00:55.820 They also allow us to form complex sentences instead of using multiple short ones. 00:55.870 --> 01:01.770 Have a look at the examples we know Brann likes eating. 01:01.780 --> 01:04.360 He doesn't like cooking. 01:04.360 --> 01:06.700 He finds cooking boring 01:09.190 --> 01:13.250 now instead of these multiple short sentences. 01:13.300 --> 01:23.830 We can create one complex sentence by using conjunctions as in the example over here Bran likes eating 01:23.980 --> 01:29.790 but he doesn't like cooking as he finds it boring. 01:29.840 --> 01:35.060 Note that conjunctions can't be divided into the following categories. 01:35.390 --> 01:45.330 A subordinating conjunctions subordinating conjunctions linked to acknowledges and me or independent 01:45.360 --> 01:49.650 one and a subordinate dependent one. 01:49.650 --> 01:59.780 Now the most commonly used subordinating conjunctions are although as because if though unless etc. 02:02.030 --> 02:09.870 Have a look at the example below she won't speak with her parents unless they apologize first. 02:10.960 --> 02:19.990 Note that the main clause or the independent clause is she won't speak with her parents and a subordinate 02:19.990 --> 02:25.090 clause or the dependent clause is they apologise first. 02:25.090 --> 02:34.730 Now these two sentences were linked together by using a subordinating conjunction unless be coal related 02:34.730 --> 02:41.860 conjunctions correlate of conjunctions connect to equal grammatical items. 02:41.860 --> 02:53.590 Now these conjunctions come in pairs either or neither are nor not only but also have a look at the 02:53.590 --> 03:01.740 example below either we go to the party or we stay at home. 03:01.810 --> 03:10.630 Note that we go to the party and we stay at home are two equal grammatical items 03:13.040 --> 03:22.850 C compound conjunctions compound conjunctions are phrases which are used as conjunctions now a compound 03:22.850 --> 03:33.860 conjunction has two or three words that go together for example so that as long gas even though etc. 03:34.730 --> 03:37.820 haven't look at the example below. 03:37.820 --> 03:42.700 Mike lied to his parents so that he could go to the party. 03:44.220 --> 03:51.530 Note that the compound conjunctions so that is a phrase that is used as a conjunction in the sentence. 03:55.530 --> 04:04.350 D coordinating conjunctions coordinating conjunctions are used to link words phrases and clauses of 04:04.500 --> 04:07.040 equal importance in a sentence. 04:07.050 --> 04:21.900 Now there are seven coordinating conjunctions for and law but or yet so now you can remember these. 04:21.910 --> 04:32.620 With the help of the acronym fanboys have a look at the example below Beth doesn't like cheese yet she 04:32.740 --> 04:35.020 eats pizza nearly every day. 04:35.970 --> 04:46.110 Note that the class Beth doesn't like cheese and she eats piece on nearly every day are of equal importance 04:46.350 --> 04:51.810 in the sentence and they are connected with the coordinating conjunction. 04:51.810 --> 04:52.410 Yet.
